"A good poem is a living being, like an apple, when I look at it, it looks back glistening, it says one thing to the hungry and the full, and another to the tree, the bowl and the mouth, it doesn't even have a final content or form, it just lives and gives life.

A good poem is a living being, like an apple, when I look at it, it looks back glistening, it says one thing to the hungry and the full, and another to the tree, the bowl and the mouth, it doesn't even have a final content or form, it just lives and gives life.
"Hungarian
"A jó vers élőlény, akár az alma, ha ránézek, csillogva visszanéz, mást mond az éhesnek s a jóllakottnak és más a fán, a tálon és a szájban, végső tartalma, vagy formája nincs is, csak él és éltet."
